Almost always one of a set of two games against a league opponent is on Friday and the other on Saturday.

Re: Championship belt - 19 years ago
Will Wrote: Does anyone else find it wrong that The Belt can bounce around the CCHA for two months, held by teams sometimes good but mostly mediocre or worse, and the ECAC (not to mention its best team this year, Cornell) can't get the belt FOR ONE FRICKIN' NIGHT?! Sigh. Such is the nature of conference schedules, I guess. I know The Belt is fictional and of course no coaches give it heed,by ursusminor - Hockey
Re: Schafer a Penrose finalist - 19 years ago
WMU did not take The Belt from NMU on 3/12. It was ruled a while back that in multi-game playoff series, The Belt would not be awarded until the series ended. This was done to preclude having a losing team of a series get The Belt as could happen in a two-game, total-goal series (remember them?). You are correct that Michigan won The Belt on 3/18. Colorado College won it on 3/26 which is where itby ursusminor - Hockey

Re: Lynah - 19 years ago
Will Wrote: Ralph, is Oates' number retired? No, thankfully. RPI put up that banner for Oates as the first player on the Wall of Honor (or some such name). I think that RPI will be similarly honoring one former player every year on Black Friday. Next season, that will apparently be the Quinnipiac game on 11/11. It wouldn't surprise me if the next one so honored will be Joé Juneau. Oateby ursusminor - Hockey

A friend and I made the trip up there for the first time this year and they have banners for everything imaginable, which still amounts to not very much.
